Hebrew Academy of Nassau County

What Hebrew Academy of Nassau County does

Hebrew Academy of Nassau County (HANC) is a private, nonprofit coed yeshiva day school founded in 1953 and operating across three campuses in Nassau County, Long Island (West Hempstead and Uniondale). The school delivers a dual curriculum integrating general secular academics with Judaic studies (Limudei Kodesh) from Nursery through Grade 12. It operates four principal divisions — the Samuel & Elizabeth Bass Golding Early Childhood & Elementary Center in West Hempstead, the Moses Hornstein Middle School, and the High School (which, beginning in the 2025-2026 school year, occupies the entire Mitchel Field Campus for the first time in school history).

The technology stack is extensive for a school of its type: roughly 250 desktop computers, 650 mobile devices, 70 SMART Boards, Meraki networking, and cloud-based Datto backups support a curriculum integrating Google Suite, Adobe Creative Suite, robotics platforms (Arduino, Lego Robotics, Dash and Dot, Bee-Bots), coding platforms (Code.org, Scratch, Snap!), 3D printing (TinkerCad), and digital Judaic text resources (Sefaria, The Mercava). Long Island Tech Advisors (LITech) provides managed technology support, and Educational Networks powers the school's web infrastructure. ParentLocker serves as the consolidated parent communication and tuition assistance platform.

HANC's revenue model is tuition-driven (annual recurring subscription billing with need-based financial aid) supplemented by donations, capital campaigns, the annual Anniversary Dinner, and UJA Federation grant funding. The school is accredited by the Middle States Association (MSA CESS) and operates under NYSED oversight. Distribution is direct-to-consumer via campus-based admissions, open houses, community events, and a website with Apply Now functionality. Customer concentration is moderate, with reliance on the Nassau County Jewish community demographic. Strategic momentum is modest, evidenced by the 2025-2026 high school expansion, a new Assistant Principal hire, and ongoing curriculum technology investment.
